The Taliban's brand of Islam is a mixture of Saudi Wahhabism, Bharati deobandism with some elements of Pashtun culture. But don't make the mistake of thinking the origins are not Saudi Wahhabism at its core (from the Soviet era in Afghanistan). It is most definitely not a Pashtun tradition to grow a beard either, as was stated incorrectly above.
